The Mouse Factory

The Mouse Factory is an American syndicated television series produced by Walt Disney Productions. It was created by Ward Kimball. It ran from 1972 to 1973. It showed clips from various Disney cartoons and movies, hosted by celebrity guests (credited as being "Mickey's Friend") visiting the Mouse Factory. They interacted with the walk-around characters in Disney theme parks. The series was later rerun on the Disney Channel in the 1980s and 1990s.
